Happy Chinese New Year….Gung Hay Fat Choi! “Dragon years are expected to be full of benevolence and grace, especially a Water Dragon Year. A warning in the Year of the Dragon is to manage energy wisely, so you don’t get exhausted. This may be hard to do in a year of abundant good energy, because it may seem unlimited.” Volatility is in the air so be ready for a big year!

Loving Communication for Couples
Do you and your partner express your love so the other really gets it?

You can give and receive the gift of Deeper Love this Valentine’s Day.

You know the love is there, but it’s just not connecting! What do you do? You can attend this free 90-minute workshop. You will learn which channel of expression works for your partner, and which one works for you. Then start giving what you each want in the way that truly communicates it! This simple practice can enhance your understanding and deepen your loving relationship. What a great gift for Valentine’s Day!
